Mitt Romney style
Oh Gangnam Style, you know you have made it big when they are creating these kind of parodies of your work...

One more for the ladies
Since we put it out there pretty hardcore this morning for women, we thought we would come back at you this evening with a bit more of a humorous take. From the delightful Tina Fey.

Sunday night Stand-up to Cancer
"Stand Up to Cancer" at The Station, #201 East Main Street, in Carrboro, this Sunday, that is tomorrow, from 7pm to 9 pm.
A friend of the Clarion Content's, Tim Woods, the owner of the newly opened Blue Horn Lounge on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, is hosting a comedy event in support of breast cancer research.
You know the Clarion Content is pro-comedy. We are always down for a good laugh and love to support hard-working comics, especially when it benefits a good cause. Carlos Valencia, Mellow Mike Miller, and Steve Brady will be the comedians in the house. The Station, which is across the parking lot from the Weaver Street Market, is a fine little watering-hole with just the right ratio of grit to good service.
Sunday there is a $15 suggested charitable donation at the door along with a raffle to benefit breast cancer research.
Unfortunately, the event is all too personal to Woods, he was inspired to bring this night together because of his own girlfriend's cancer diagnosis. He is excited to help raise money for research.
Tim humbly confessed, "I just don't want to be embarrassed by a small turnout."

Bull City Soul Revival continues
The Bull City Soul Revival continues tonight with Dr. Bruce Bridges performance and lecture, "Signifying the Monkey, Toast and the Humor Tradition in African-American music."
The term “Signifying Monkey” comes from a folk trickster figure said to have originated during the slavery era. In the meta-narrative archetype, the monkey dupes a powerful lion by “signifying”: employing a speech pattern using connotative, contextual key words, the significance of which are accessible only to those who share unique cultural values and perspective. It is insider speech deliberately coded to be understood only by the intended audience.
In Henry Louis Gates’s highly influential book, The Signifying Monkey, he expands the term to refer not merely to a specific vernacular strategy, but also to a trope of double-voiced repetition and reversal that exemplifies a distinguishing property of African- American discourse.
Dr. Bridges breaks it all down tonight at the Stanford L. Warren branch of the Durham Public Library, #1201 Fayetteville Street, at 7pm. Admission is free.

What are they watching... Episode XXVII
Our look at what the teens and tweens of America are watching. We peer into their world through the lens of You Tube. You may have caught some of our earlier episodes, if not, follow this link [and scroll down past this post].
This week we present, video blogger Jenna Marbles. She is hot. And we are not talking about her looks, her You Tube channel has more than 2 million subscribers. Why not? She is hilarious. Below, her advice on how to stop guys from grinding on you in the club. Fyi...the language is salty and R-rated.
Special thanks to one of our Chapel Hill readers for sending this our way.
